Members Who Went Said:
It was an animated interview with the prolific Mitzi and egged on by Bruce as only he can.
jeff great film clips.... drag impersonation was outstanding...... she was simply a hoot and very entertaining
Albert T. Really great to see Mitzi's appearance! Should have gone a little more on the interview, felt she was just on a roll. The television show re-broadcast could have been edited down to accommodate a longer interview. |

More Details About This Event: It will be one enchanted evening as Marc Huestis presents A Salute to Legendary Mitzi Gaynor--live in person--interviewed by the fabulous Bruce Vilanch. There will be lots of happy talk as Miss Mitzi--star of South Pacific, There's No Business Like Show Business and Anything Goes and countless TV specials--regales the crowd about the making of these classics. And especially for this gala, there will be a rare screening of Mitzi's 1975 Emmy-winning Mitzi...and 100 Guys, featuring Mitzi and a host of wonderful guys, plus a sing-along medley from South Pacific, a tribute performance by Matthew Martin and classic clips from Mitzi's treasure trove. And finally, the piece de resistance: the Mitzi by Mackie Costume Display, featuring a selection of Gaynor's classic Bob Mackie costumes.
Partial proceeds benefit Project Open Hand. About Castro Theatre: The Castro Theatre was built in 1922 by pioneer San Francisco theatre entrepreneurs, the Nasser brothers, who started with a nickelodeon in 1908 in the Castro neighborhood. The Castro was built at a cost of $300,000. The Castro's designer was Timothy L. Pflueger (1894-1946) who went on to become a famous Bay Area architect. In 1977, the Castro was designated City of San Francisco registered landmark number 100. It is one of the few remaining movie palaces in the nation from the 1920s that is still in operation. |
